Boxing Day Morning

Well, this is Boxing Day?

The day when traditionaly children, who worked in mines and mills or lived in workhouses used to make there way home clutching little boxes.  When home the children would greet their Mothers and hand them the little boxes, and say

“Get me stuff packed Mother, a’m off for good”!

At least that is what will happen in our house!!
